Genesis: Joseph’s Exaltation

If the Lord was with Joseph, and if Joseph remained faithful and persevered, why does it seem like things went from bad to worse in his life?  Throughout the Bible there is a paradoxical principle, before exaltation comes humiliation. As we take a closer look at Joseph’s exaltation and Pharaoh’s humiliation, we will see that the Lord is the one who exalts the humble and humbles the exalted.
